Todd and I

Todd Wong - He is voted as 1 of 150 most important people from BC. and no, he was not born in 1980. He is much older than that and that's why he is an artifact. A life size cut out of this kilted Chinese is on display at Royal British Columbia Museum.

I am one of two people I know who regularly wear the kilt in Singapore. By this I am not counting pipers who wear it as part of the uniform, nor staff from the local Highland-themed bar and restaurant... We both wear contemporary kilt. I have 3 AKs and a tailored camo, while my compatriot owns several UKs.

Family has been accepting, girlfriend has been positively supportive. People on the street may give looks but will tend to keep their opinions to themselves. I've had questions and quips, but nothing more serious than that. We have no 'kilt scene' to speak of, no ren faires, no highland games, no kilt nights (that I know of). Certainly nothing as vibrant as Vancouver's Gung Haggis Fatt Choy.

A few quiet kilted scenes from Singapore:

I really enjoyed the photos.. I can't remember the name, but I have watched the Queen's or Queen Mum's birthday celebration where a Chinese pipe band performed. I think they were from Hong Kong.. can't remember the particulars..

Nice pics! Looks like the Fraser Hunting is a popular item with your crew.

Thank you for sharing those pics.

Gung Haggis Fat Choy started out when Todd was at Simon Fraser University and there has always been a close connection. So we use Fraser Hunting as the team tartan...those of us with our own can choose to wear those. I paddle in my Hunting Mackinnon PV. There are at least four other tartans on race day in our boat.
